Chocoflan Impossible Cake with Cajeta
Chocoflan Impossible Cake with Cajeta layers a tender, cocoa-rich cake beneath a silky vanilla flan that bakes into a striking, two-toned dessert. Each slice is glazed with warm cajeta, adding deep caramel notes that complement the faint hint of coffee in the crumb. It’s an eye-catching finish for dinner parties, holidays, or any time you want a showstopper to share.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt), then lightly dust it with flour; tap to shake off the excess.

Fill a shallow baking pan with enough water to reach 1/3 up the sides of the tube pan. Put the water bath in the oven to warm while it preheats.

Pour the cajeta caramel sauce into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until warm and pourable, about 1 minute. Pour it into the prepared tube pan, completely covering the bottom.
- 4
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl.

Beat 10 1/2 tablespoons butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and the coffee. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing well after each addition. Pour the batter over the caramel in the tube pan.

Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, 4 eggs, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth. Pour over the cake batter through a fine-mesh sieve.

Bake in the water bath in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour. Carefully run a thin knife around the edges to loosen, tap the pan firmly a few times, then shake gently. Place a serving plate over the pan and invert to release the cake onto the plate.
